Gassy veils! Orange sunlight! Alien life? It’s the sole goddess of our solar system: Venus. And to tour us through her beauty is the charming and enthusiastic planetary geologist and Venusian expert Dr. Vickie Hansen, a Senior Scientist at the Planetary Science Institute. In what is sure to become an instant classic, Vickie will delight you with tales of space probes past and future, dazzling terrain, myths, melting machinery, “noodle data,” analogues to Earth, tectonic misconceptions, and reactions to self-help books that capitalize on our solar geography. Also: what does Venus smell like? Donations went to the <a href="https://www.psi.edu/">Planetary Science Institute</a> and the <a href="https://www.nature.org/en-us/">Nature Conservancy</a>More episode sources and links: <a href="http://alieward.com/ologies/venusology">alieward.com/ologies/venusology</a>Other episodes you may enjoy: <a href="https://www.alieward.com/ologies/heliology">Heliology (THE SUN/ECLIPSES)</a>, <a href="https://www.alieward.com/ologies/areology">Areology (MARS)</a>, <a href="https://www.alieward.com/ologies/astrobiology">Astrobiology (ALIENS)</a>, <a href="https://www.alieward.com/ologies/cosmology">Cosmology (THE UNIVERSE)</a>, <a href="https://www.alieward.com/ologies/selenology">Selenology (THE MOON)</a>, <a href="https://www.alieward.com/ologies/mythology">Mythology (STORYTELLING)</a>, <a href="https://www.alieward.com/ologies/astrobromatology">Astrobromatology (SPACE FOOD)</a>, <a href="https://www.alieward.com/ologies/blackholetheorycosmology">Black Hole Theory Cosmology (WHAT ARE BLACK HOLES?!)</a>, <a href="https://www.alieward.com/ologies/scotohylology">Scotohylology (DARK MATTER)</a>, <a href="https://www.alieward.com/ologies/ufology">UFOlogy (UNEXPLAINED AERIAL PHENOMENA)</a>, <a href="https://www.alieward.com/ologies/spacearchaeology">Space Archaeology (SPACE JUNK)</a>, <a href="https://www.alieward.com/ologies/quantumontology">Quantum Ontology (WHAT IS REAL?)</a><a href="https://www.alieward.com/ologies-by-topic">400+ Ologies episodes sorted by topic</a><a href="https://pod.link/1746567248">Smologies (short, classroom-safe) episodes</a><a href="https://alieward.com/ologies-sponsors">Sponsors of Ologies</a><a href="https://alieward.com/ologies-extras">Transcripts and bleeped episodes</a><a href="https://www.patreon.com/ologies">Become a patron of Ologies</a> for as little as a buck a month<a href="https://www.ologiesmerch.com/">OlogiesMerch.com</a> has hats, shirts, hoodies, totes!Follow Ologies on <a href="https://www.instagram.com/ologies">Instagram</a> and <a href="https://bsky.app/profile/ologies.bsky.social">Bluesky</a>Follow Alie Ward on <a href="https://www.instagram.com/alieward">Instagram</a> and <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@alie_ologies">TikTok</a>Editing by Mercedes Maitland of <a href="http://maitlandaudio.com/">Maitland Audio Productions</a> and <a href="https://www.jecmusic.com/">Jake Chaffee</a>Managing Director: Susan HaleScheduling Producer: Noel DilworthTranscripts by Aveline Malek Website by <a href="https://www.kellyrdwyer.com/photo">Kelly R.
